According to this month's issue of the American Rifleman magazine, Mr. Stern's heirs have agreed to donate all proceeds from the firearms auction to the NRA's National Firearms Museum. The heirs donated some 12 or so rare guns to the NRA's museum, with everything else being put on the auction block.Comment

What a fantastic collection!
Here is the FG-42 that Jack mentioned.
Is that sling correct? The fittings look OK but what about the leather itself?Comment

What sort of money do these fetch? Around $30-40k?Comment

An identical model FG sold at auction here in the US about 6-8 months ago for $75,000. I believe that gun's receiver had been cut and rewelded, in order to get it legally registered. This method of cutting and then "remanufacturing" the original receiver, as a registration mechanism, was ended when US law changed in 1986. Such guns are termed "rewelds" by US collectors.
Bottom line is that if the Stern FG is an uncut original, it should bring more money than the reweld FG did.Comment

I'll guess at auction it'll fetch above $150KWAF LIFE COACHComment
